Size of a Planet, A Higher Low
|
March 2020: As the UK went into its first national lockdown, a truly original project emerged - Size of A Planet. Nineteen diverse musicians, with a collective track record that includes World Music Awards, Grammy nominations, UK and US hit records, and credits with Joe Strummer, Richard Hawley, Jarvis Cocker, Florence, and the Machine, Basement Jaxx, and many others.
|
Originally conceived by guitarist/producer Bryan Day, the project was loosely based on a musical version of the family paper fold-down game, known to many as Consequences or Pass It On. Nineteen musician friends signed up to Bryan’s idea, whereby each recorded a musical idea and emailed it on to the next person, until eventually, 19 passes later, the initial idea returned to its owner, in glorious amalgamation. The Size Of A Planet project emerged as an innovative and resourceful way for them all to focus their talents on creating new original music, during a time of lockdowns with devastating consequences for many musicians across the world.
|
The results are impressively coherent, while the musicians contribute a wide variety of instruments and vocal styles. Each musician’s contribution is sensitive to the needs of the song, while also flexing their considerable creative talents to come up with some truly original and inspiring tunes. It is now time for the project to start to emerge into the light.

lyrics

A Higher Low (Lyrics by Steve Neil Edwards)



Why does everybody pretend things are much better now
Remember how pure it was communion just because
The blood running through our veins amounted to the same thing
But now we’re left counting the cost another opportunity lost

Drifting far away into space along with our senses
If only we could catch a star I know you’d make a wish It’s written all over your face I can see it in the half light Maybe it’s a bridge too far is there no coming back from this

And I know the seasons they are changing I get it
But we are fighting for our hearts and souls
Where there’s hope there’s love alive so let’s not forget it
While we are drifting on a higher low

Looking for a corner to turn to see what’s waiting
I don’t want to hurt no one I just want to feel the sun
Bringing us back to life so we can feel again
The rapture of paradise gone you and I right or wrong

But we’re drifting away into space along with our senses
If only we could catch a star I know you’d make a wish
Cos It’s written all over your face I can see it in the half light
Maybe it’s a bridge too far is there no coming back from this

And I know the seasons they are changing I get it
But we are fighting for our hearts and souls
Where there’s hope there’s love alive so let’s not forget it
While we are drifting on a higher low

Chorus
A higher low a higher low a higher low a higher low A higher low a higher low a higher low a higher low A higher low a higher low a higher low a higher low A higher low a higher low a higher low a higher low
